Chapter eleven

"Do you think she will be okay?" Natashi asked one of the doctors looking at Kagome. They had come in only half an hour ago and Kagome had panicked as soon as she saw her daughter, pale as a ghost with bloody bandages around her hands, come into the E.R.

"It'll take some time, but her daughter will be okay, so it shouldn't be too hard"

Natashi nodded.

"Did you call her husband?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, he's on his way, he just needs to pick up the other children"

Shimone sat in class thinking about Mekura and how he had been entertaining her in the weirdest ways when she was over cleaning his house last Saturday. She had laughed so much it hardly came to any cleaning, before she had to go home and start her training with Shisuseru. She had caught on well but the triplets still annoyed her, making cruel jokes about her. 'Oh well, can't have everything now can I?' She asked herself before sighing. When the door opened everybody's eyes turned towards it. Who could be disturbing their class? They all thought. It was the principle. She walked over to the teacher and whispered something in her ear, then the teacher nodded and the principle walked down the rows of tables, until she reached Shimone's desk. 'Oh god, what now?' she thought.

"Ms. Sonmune, would you please come with me to the office?" She asked. Shimone was terrified and looked to Ana for help, but was surprised when she was looking down into her desk, her bangs covering her eyes. What was going on?!

"Yes ma'am" She said and followed. The triplets snickered.

Once she got out onto the hall and they were walking down to the office Shimone gathered up the courage to ask.

"Why did you come get me?"

"Your father should tell you, he's come to get you" She just said in an emotionless voice that she had never heard before. Once they entered the office Shimone saw Inuyasha.

"Dad? What's going on?" She asked running up to him as she saw how horrible he looked.

"It's you sister, she's in the hospital. I'm taking you and your siblings to see her"

'What is going ON?!' her mind screamed as she followed him silently.

The group once again sat by their tree, this time for lunch, talking. Nami was home because her father had grounded her for staying out late with Kimi those nights ago, so she was home schooled by her mother in that time. Therefore Kimi was sulking big time, and it didn't help one bit that Daisuke had just snuck off with Shisuseru in tow to do god knows what.

They stood behind one of the many trees in the schoolyard, making out.

"Why do we hide?" Shisuseru asked in between kisses once her had her pinned against the tree.

"Because you're not eighteen yet, and even though the school is causal about these things, I still don't wanna risk getting imprisoned for making out with a minor" He answered in between kisses. Slowly his hands went upward but as soon as they reached her breast she hissed.

"What is it? I didn't hurt you did I?" Daisuke asked worried.

"No, it's nothing. My breasts are just so sore, have been for a couple of days"

"Thank god, you had me worried there for a second" He said and kissed her again.

"Oh, so sweet" She said and kissed back.

Back at "the" tree Fuo shook his head while Kimi sulked further and Alex chuckled.

Fuo then turned to Alex wanting to ask him something.

"So, did you figure out those math problems after I left?" He asked.

Alex blushed. 'Still so shy' Fuo thought chuckling inside.

"Um, well… no. Could you come over after school and help me? I seriously don't get them! It's like when I look at the paper and the numbers and letters, and then suddenly I go blank! And they start dancing!"

Fuo almost laughed his head off if he hadn't suddenly spotted Shimone coming towards them.

"Hey, Shisu, get out here!" He shouted at his sister and best friend's direction.

Once Shisuseru was out from behind the tree she spotted Shimone as well.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Fuo asked, but before she got to answer Shisuseru fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.

"No, it's not true" She whispered.

"What?" Fuo was seriously scared now "How about telling me what's going on!"

Shisuseru looked incapable of voicing another word so he turned to Shimone.

"Tsurine tried to kill herself" Was all she needed to say before Fuo paled.

"Dad has come to get us, he's taking us to the hospital" She finished. Fuo nodded and turned to his other sister. She was currently located in Daisuke's arms, tears still running down her cheeks.

"Come on, let's go" He said gently, with barely any emotion in his voice. He had shut off, and it was scaring the other three. But Shisuseru wouldn't let go of Daisuke.

"Shi, you need to let go of me, so you can go to the hospital" He whispered into her ear. She shook her head. Why was she so scared?

"You can go too" Said a voice from behind them.

"I talked to the principle and he said that you could go too if you wanted since you know her too" Inuyasha said turning back around. It seemed to really have hit him hard.

"Shimone you can go with me, so can you Kimi, you others have to take the bikes, there's not enough room for all of you" He said then turned and walked towards the parking lot.

It had now been several hours since Tsurine had been brought into a room for herself and she was sitting and staring out the window. It had begun to rain. How fitting she thought. The door opened and Kagome stepped in. She had calmed down a bit. She walked over to the bed and stood looking at her. Silence. A couple of minutes went by and she couldn't take it anymore.

"Why?" She asked a tear sliding down her cheek. She quickly whipped it away before she saw it.

"I didn't want to live" Was her answer.

"But why like this? Why not talk to us first?" Kagome asked again.

"You wouldn't have been able to help me. No one can" Then she shut up. Kagome tried to ask more questions but she wouldn't answer. Instead she left to go to the family room where the rest of her family waited, together with friends.

She walked in and sat down next to her mother who they had informed and had left right away from Tokyo together with Souta.

"What did she say?" Kachi asked taking her hand.

"She said that, we wouldn't have been able to help her even if we knew why"

"What does that mean?" Natashi asked kneeling in front of her.

"I don't know"

Everyone went silent. Then Kagome turned to her eldest daughter. She had calmed down a bit too but was still holding onto Daisuke.

"Shisu… I hate to ask this of you but, would it be too much to ask if you-"

"No, mom, it wouldn't" She said standing up "I would do anything to help her get through this" She continued then walked over to her mother. Her mother nodded.

Shisuseru stood up once again and walked over to the door slowly sliding it open and then stepping inside, closing it after her. Now all they had to do was wait…

It hadn't been more than ten minutes before they heard the door slam open and Shisuseru stood there, fuming. "YOU!" She hissed looking at Genken who sat in the corner circles under his eyes. Everyone stood up, scared at what they saw. They had never seen her so angry!

"How could you!?" She yelled as she ran towards him and knocked him down, punching him several times. Inuyasha hurried and pulled his daughter off of him before she could do any mayor damage.

"What did I do?" He asked confused and scared.

"This is your fault!"

Everyone gasped.

"How is this, my fault?"

"You kissed Line!" as if it was magic, after having said that, she broke into tears again.

"What?! No! She kissed me! I tried to push her away"

"Might wanna tell that to Tsu! She can't be with you now because of that kiss! She loves you! Don't you get it?" She was now sobbing, seeking comfort in her fathers arms.

"What? How can she think that?"

"Uh oh" Said Natashi.

"What is it?" Kagome asked looking at her friend.

"Don't tell me you told your children that a kiss is enough to bind a couple together?"

"Of course we did, we wanted them to make the right decision once they chose someone" Inuyasha was completely confused now.

"Oh no, they don't know" Natashi said as she looked at her husband. Josuke turned to them and explained.

"So you mean, you only get bound if you are soul mates?"

He nodded. Then turned to his son.

"You go in there and talk to her. And I don't want you coming out before she is at least a bit back to her normal self"

No one seemed to protest at that, and Genken went in.

AVAVAVAVAVA

For the third time that night, Tsurine heard the door open.

"Leave me alone. I won't talk" She said in an emotionless voice. When she didn't hear the door again she turned around to see who it was. Rage and sadness filled her suddenly.

"Get out! I don't want to see you!" She yelled at him.

"I'm not leaving before I have told you something" He said walking over to her.

"Stay away! Don't come closer!" He looked hurt at those words, but she didn't care! He had hurt her! Now she was standing on her knees facing him

"I'm sorry for what you saw, but you're wrong! I didn't kiss her!"

Tsurine went silent.

"But I saw how you hand were on her face…"

"To push her away. She just walked up to me and kissed me without warning"

"I heard her tell someone that you wanted to talk to her in private" She was now clutching the sheets in her fists.

"I did. I was angry at her for calling me all the time and I was going to tell her off once and for all. She was fault in our first fight"

Silence... Then Genken spoke again.

"When I heard you had been brought to the hospital I was miserable. I thought about how we fought and I hoped to god that you wouldn't die, not before-"

He stopped immediately, as if he was afraid to say more.

"What? Not before what?" She asked. She had stopped crying by now and looked at him.

"I know that you think I'm bound to Line now, but that's not true"

Now she was confused.

"Your parents didn't know, so don't blame them, but in this time, bondings can only happen between soul mates"

"So, she's not your soul mate?"

He shook his head.

"Then… Who is?" She asked. She knew it might not have been the most genius question she could come up with, but having heard that made her heart jump with joy, and all the pain and misery she had felt was like washed away.

"I don't know but… I was hoping it was you" He said. By now he had walked all the way across the room to her bed and they were now very close.

"Really?" She whispered hope surging in her heart.

"Yes" he whispered back. They were so close now! Their lips were almost toughing and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Can I kiss you?" She heard him whisper against her lips.

"Yes"

And so their lips met. It was sweet and tender and it made Tsurine's knees go weak. She felt his hands move to the back on her neck, one of them moved further up, caressing one of her ears. When they finally parted again, Tsurine's cheeks were blushing and they were both breathing a bit hard.

"Aishiteru Tsurine" Genken whispered looking into her eyes.

Tsurine gasped as tears filled her eyes, but happy ones this time, and hugged him close.

"I love you too" She said and felt him breathe out. 'He must have feared I would reject him' She thought smiling 'Never'
